Hosted by Demetri Walters MW The Loire River is France’s longest, beginning in the country’s heated south then rising north before abruptly coursing west and making its way to the Atlantic. It is on this last stretch where you will find – on both banks – some of France’s most honoured wine regions yet, conversely, some of its most underrated reds. The effortlessly food-friendly Cabernet Franc is the main player here and understandably takes centre stage as Demetri Walters MW concludes his Loire Valley profile. However, as Walters digs into the region’s winemaking heritage and highlights some of today’s leading practitioners, he also reveals more about the lesser-spotted Sancerre rouge, and opens a wine made from Grolleau, historically a high-yielding, workhorse grape, which has been transformed into anything but by one of our featured producers.

Hosted by Demetri Walters MW & Sarah Jane Evans MW We venture into the Sherry Triangle, that region of Andalucía demarcated by three cities, and which is home to one of wine’s most historic and idiosyncratic drinks. Over the last few years, talk of a sherry renaissance has been a constant thanks to an influx of winemakers and owners who have injected diversity and dynamism, complementing the region’s many centuries of hard-earned know-how. Sherry expert Sarah Jane Evans MW, along with fellow Master of Wine Demetri Walters, adds substance to the chatter, weaving the region’s history into a masterclass which shines a light on sherry’s various styles and its leading protagonists, framed by a sublime selection which is available as a tasting kit to digital members.
